EP 316 - The Marginally Anticipated Return of The Backseat DJ - Starlight Thursdays Episode 316

Howdy y'all, It's Thursday again! and I have some morally and politically neutral news for you! He's back! the DJ you may or may not have asked for, surprising everyone or no one, coming up from a deep dive under the radar, it's the marginally anticipated return of The Backseat DJ! Truly a whelming individual, The Backseat DJ lusts for old pop tunes with nearly new-ish twists; painstakingly picked to please mostly, nearly, nobody but himself, which neither pleases nor displeases anyone or everyone else. The Backseat DJ is always filling his setlist with too many bangers and forever playing timeslots that are marginally too short - The Backseat DJ knows how to select tracks and also play them. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of music -- both marginally unknown and obviously well known, the likes of which may or may not appear in this set. The set likely and probably does include artists such as Salin, Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, Everything but the Girl, and Lizzo. I could go on, but I can tell you're are marginally bored with this now perhaps too long maybe not long enough gribbling of text/light roast, so I'll the let the Backseat DJ take the front seat and we hope you enjoy the tunes! A few words from the artist. "It’s really a throwback mix. I’m pretty sure the newest track in here is at least a couple years old and there are tracks in here that i’ve been spinning for 20 years or more. I wanted to do an uplifting, vocal heavy, accessible, and genre jumping set and I think I pulled that off, so I’m happy with it as it is presented in this mix. To be clear, this is the set that I imagined playing. The set that I played at the Badlander was about a half hour shorter with an awkward placement of the epic trance track… and a couple stinkers of a trainwreck. There’s a couple moments that were inspired by my late friend, DJ Corey Croft, who shared my love for Ferry Corsten and who thought it would be funny to loop the chorus break bassline of “Funkytown” for a whole night at a party.
